ALL ACCESS FOOTBALL REPORT: WEEK 10

The World Famous All Access Football Report is published every Wednesday. This week, we declare the Washington Commanders to officially be contenders in the NFC, as they have moved up to No.5 in our NFL Power rankings! Be sure to listen to the Sports Rage segment below for more detailed analysis on the Hogs and EVERYTHING football.

Speaking of DC, head coach Dan Campbell had to wait four years for another opportunity as commander in chief. Now, he is the favorite to win NFL Coach of the Year. It reflects upon our NFL Head Coach Rankings below, as he has moved inside our top ten overall.

The same can be said for Washington sensation Jayden Daniels, who has suddenly catapulted atop our QB Rankings and has a shot to become just the second rookie in NFL history to win MVP (Jim Brown in 1957).

Our 2025 NFL Draft Big Board has expanded and the Heisman Trophy race has tightened up significantly. However, before you dive into the rankings, one quick note about the College Football Playoffs selection committee initial rankings. While we understand that there is a lot of criteria that is considered when creating these rankings, there should be some questions as to how they arrived with BYU at No.9.

Do their eyes really believe that the Cougars could beat schools such as Notre Dame, Alabama, LSU, or Ole Miss? That seems a bit hard to envision from where we sit. Otherwise, there is sure to be plenty of moving and shaking before the CFB Playoffs begin in six weeks. Buckle up, enjoy and God Bless America!

NFL POWER RANKINGS

The Chiefs continue to pull out close victories and remain undefeated halfway through the season, while the Lions look like the most complete team in the NFL. Our midseason Super Bowl prediction last week, included both teams. It’s official, the Commanders are contenders as this year’s Cinderella. That is one team no one will want to face come playoff time, as the Steelers might find out this week. Despite dealing with a slew of injuries, the 49ers have some optimism with Christian McCaffrey returning to practice and eyeing a return.

NFL HEAD COACH RANKINGS

Clearly, the Commanders have shown the biggest improvement more than any other franchise thus far this season. However, having a talented quarterback such as Jalen Daniels surely helps. There is a strong argument to be made that Vikings headman Kevin O’Connell deserves consideration for Coach of the Year, for turning lemons into lemonade with the resurrection of Sam Darnold in Minnesota. Some coaches may not be about the X’s and O’s but thrive with the Jimmy’s and Joe’s, for that, Lions leader Dan Campbell deserves kudos for being the ultimate player’s coach.

NFL QB RANKINGS

The transformation of top signal-callers around the league includes the likes of second-year starter CJ Stroud in Houston and rookie signal-caller Jayden Daniels in DC. After years of discussion about Caleb Williams being a can’t-miss prospect, it has been Daniels who has taken the league by storm. Former Super Bowl winning quarterbacks such as Russell Wilson, who has shown signs of life of late with Pittsburgh and Aaron Rodgers, who has been unable to resuscitate the football team in New Jersey, have slipped a far cry from the top ten.

HEISMAN TROPHY WATCH

The All Access Football Heisman vote will continue to be Travis Hunter of Colorado on our ballot. However, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty is having a season for the ages, while Miami could cruise towards an undefeated season, providing quarterback Cam Ward with a strong case for an invitation to New York as well. A trio of quarterbacks remain as dark horse candidates behind them.
